Ok, so it's the wrong season to be looking at new swimwear, but I just came across these gorgeous handmade costumes by My Sister Pat. They make me want to swan around by the pool with a martini in my hand...,

We brought Isobel's new (old!) bed home with us on our latest trip to Nelson Bay and so I'm starting to think about her room. I like the vintage feel of this image (via lovemaestore). I like the thought of warm, feminine bed linen - without it being crazy over the top girly. Something homely and comforting, that feels loved - but doesn't look too old-country-farmhouse in my mid-century inspired home.

I like something about all of these images. Don't necessarily want her room to look like any of these, but I like the vibes.

Great post over at Design Sponge today on how to make a duvet cover. So simple! I will definitely be trying this one out. I find the price of bed linen quite astounding, and most of it is so uninspiring. This is the answer!

I have been a bit quiet lately as I've been focusing on the 12 Week Body Transformation I mentioned a while back. For a girl who doesn't cook, learning has been great fun.....but hell it takes a lot of my time! I like to line up all the ingredients and then chop them all up and put them in little bowls, just like they do on all the cooking shows. Turns out that takes time, people! But I am truly enjoying it. And learning so much. Not to mention exercising my little patootie off. Look out Michelle Bridges arms, here I come....
